Make A Funny Stick Figure Cartoon

You can give your stick figure some comedic flairs by giving it wacky facial expressions.


Not everyone is born with artistic talents, but that doesn't mean you can't draw and doodle for fun. One of the easiest things for children or adults to draw is a stick figure of a person. There are certain flairs you can add to your stick figure --- like giving it wacky hair, facial expressions or making it look like it's running.


Instructions


1. Draw a circle for the head of your stick figure. Make the circle large enough that you can draw in eyes, a nose, and a mouth. To make the stick person cute or funny, draw two big circles to give it large eyes, a small squiggly line for a nose, a wavy smile or draw a line of squares for teeth. On the outside of the head you can draw squiggly lines or scribble wildly to make hair.


2. Draw a long vertical line starting at the bottom of the head circle and going down. This line, which will act as the main part of the body, should be at least double the length of the head circle. As an alternative, you could draw an equilateral triangle with the top tip of the triangle positioned at the bottom of the head circle. This triangle would act as the "dress" for a female stick figure.


3. Determine the midway point of your vertical line or equilateral triangle and draw two horizontal lines coming out of each side to act as the arms. You can draw the arm lines straight out or angle them either up or down. If you wish, draw five short lines on the end of each "arm" to act as fingers.


4. Draw two angled lines, resembling the shape of a capital "A", at the bottom of your long vertical "body" line. These two lines will act as the legs of the male stick figure. For the female, draw two straight vertical lines coming out of the bottom of the equilateral triangle for legs. At the bottom of each leg you can draw a small horizontal line for the feet. For some extra comedy, draw the legs of your stick figure bent legs and draw four or five horizontal lines to the side of the stick figure to make it appear like he or she is running.
